The library will be holding two training sessions for new faculty research assistants this fall. In this training, RAs will learn about library services and policies and will gain an introduction to our databases and to best research practices.

The training sessions will be:

Wednesday, September 27, 12:00pm-1:00pm

Thursday, October 5, 3:00pm-4:00pm

All sessions will be held in the Computer Learning Center (CLC) in the Williams Law Library.

The Law Library is conducting a survey of all Georgetown law students. Please take about 10 minutes to give us your feedback on the law library’s collections, services and any related matters. We promise to read every comment submitted, and we’ll do what we can to act on and respond to your feedback.

For the Spring 2016 Georgetown Law Library Survey, we will award four prizes of $50 to be added to the winners’ Georgetown GoCards. After completing the survey, you’ll have a chance to enter your email address to be entered for the drawing. We will keep the survey open through Monday, March 21st and plan to announce student winners soon after this.

It should only take a few minutes to complete the voluntary survey. Based on feedback in prior years, we released a new Map-It feature for the catalog, provided text transcripts to new video tutorials, purchased additional book scanners, replaced all desktop computers in the public areas in Wolff and Williams, opened a self-service café in the Williams Library, added adjustable standing desks in both libraries, and posted a prominent directory near the elevators as well as smaller signs on every entrance of the Williams Library.

You can review a summary of survey responses from 2007 to 2015 on our website.

Join us today at 11 a.m. for the Grand Opening of Legal Eats – the new unattended micromarket by Avenue C.

Legal Eats is on the first floor of the E.B. Williams Library in the former canteen space.

Reach the cafe from the journals’ entrance or from within the library (take the elevator to the first floor, and the entrance to the cafe will be by the water fountain at the bottom of the stairs).

After the grand opening, the cafe will be open to students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you want to get something to eat when the library is closed, use the journals’ entrance to access the cafe using your GoCard.

Find more information about setting up an account with Avenue C and other payment options here.

We are excited to announce that Legal Eats – an unattended micromarket by Avenue C – will be opening on the First Floor of the E.B. Williams Library on October 26.

Legal Eats will feature fresh sandwiches, salads, and a wide variety of snacks and beverages. You will be able to select what you want from coolers and displays and then use a self-checkout machine to pay.

Starting on the 26th, you will be able to reach Legal Eats from within the library space: just take the elevator to the first floor, and the entrance to the market will be by the water fountain at the bottom of the stairs.

Legal Eats will be installed by Avenue C in the current canteen space this week, and so the canteen will be closed to students from October 21 through October 25.

We look forward to seeing you at the grand opening of Legal Eats on October 26!

The 2012 film centers on Arendt’s response to the 1961 trial of ex-Nazi Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem, which she covered for The New Yorker, and subsequently published as a book: Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (1st ed. 1963). Her writing on the trial became controversial for its depiction of both Eichmann and the Jewish councils.

To supplement this spring’s successful Equal Justice Film Festival and encourage further research and exploration, the Georgetown Law Library has compiled a brief bibliography of resources, including books, scholarly articles, and other films on related topics.
